This type of wheel suspension controls the wheel by four rod-type control arms and the track rod. The suspension strut supports the car weight against the body via the supporting link. By separating the control elements and suspension elements, this design optimises ride quality and motion. The influences of drive forces on the steering system are minimal.

Recuperation recycles the energy normally lost during braking by storing and then using it for acceleration or starting, so saving fuel and cutting emissions.

When you're trying to save energy while driving it makes sense to recover it where you can. One way we've done this is to raise the alternator voltage when slowing down and braking. This increases battery charging and helps the car slow down. The alternator load is then reduced when accelerating to lighten the burden on the engine and cut fuel consumption. Recuperation is a feature of some of our BlueMotion cars.

We put a sound proof film in our glass windows, and our doors are fitted with dampeners so you can drive in peace and quiet through road works in traffic jams, and over noisy gravel and still arrive calm and relaxed.

McPherson strut suspension is a particular form of independent suspension used on the front axle of a car. The McPherson strut joins the wheel carrier to the car body. The functions of the suspension strut are to cushion the car, to limit bounce (tension and compression), to damp oscillation, to hold the suspension strut mount connecting to the body, and to transmit the steering motion. The use of lightweight, high-strength materials reduces the unsprung masses, thereby enhancing performance and ride comfort. The benefits of this system are its space and weight-saving design allied to its large amounts of compression.
